Clean Start***** (book)

WATERY BLUE EYES CUT OUT OF CLOUDY MASK, the Sky watched me drive home today.

TODAY I looked up. A plane ascended, a bird descended; both beautiful. Patches of pale blue sky, dark brooding clouds; both beautiful. Bright streaks of sunlight, dark shadows huddling; both beautiful.

What contrasts did you see today, accepting them all?

INSPIRATION. I planted some cuttings of Golden Pathos and Spider Plant at the base of my office "tree." You may think it silly since I won't be there much longer, but to me it symbolizes life and growth.

CLEAN START. My fav cookbook right now is Clean Start--Inspiring You to Eat Clean and Live Well With 100 New Clean Food Recipes by Terry Walters.

She promotes a healthy, sustainable approach to eating clean and living well. None of that dry, tasteless food, but rather yummy, locally grown, seasonal food that's fresh and bursting with flavor.

Last night was a soup and salad night at my house. I made Kale, Sweet Potato & White Bean Soup****. Bachan said "wonufall". It is now her favorite soup. This is a great choice when you when you want a quick meal packed with flavor. The ginger and mirin give it subtle Asian undertones. I loved the Watercress & Fennel Salad with Blood Orange and Thyme Vinaigrette.**** Deep red, dripping-juice orange slices against the bright peppery flavor of watercress. Heaven! I know Spring is here 'cause I'm craving greens.

If eating clean and living well sounds good to you, go to Amazon.com and buy this book for yourself.
